LAS VEGAS — Scoot Henderson can practically rip the rim off a standard 10-foot basketball hoop. But he still dunks imaginary balls into goals he envisions on the wall, extending his 6-foot-3 inch, 195-pound frame high over helpless defenders.
At 18 years old, basketball is not only his profession. It’s his obsession.
“He’s falling so much in love with the game of basketball that he finds it in everything that he does,” said Henderson’s sister, Onyx, whom he “dunked” over countless times in the living room of their childhood home.
